The Jaded NYer Does Hair

I truly believe that the ability to do hair is part of a Dominican woman's DNA, all us colored women, actually.

I've been doing hair since, whoa, like maybe age 8 or so (Minnie, correct me if I'm wrong)... I can do my own rolos, and have done them by myself from very early on; I can braid, apply a relaxer, hair color, pass the blower, hot comb/iron, trim the ends, and, most importantly, take this:









and turn it into this:








*smooches...with a WICKED backache that will last me for weeks*

it's always totally worth it, though, to see them head bang- wild hair all over the place- to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody...priceless moment...

  8. I barely notice it anymore; I got my own hair down to one hour if I'm pressing it.
